Whoa! This woman gave birth to 18 children!
"We've had three in January, three in December. Those two months are a busy time for us," she said, laughing.
The Duggars' oldest child, Josh, is 20, and the youngest, Jennifer, is nine months old.
The fast-growing family lives in Tontitown in northwest Arkansas in a 7,000-square-foot home. All the children — whose names start with the letter J — are home-schooled.
I could not imagine having such a big family with lots of brothers and sisters. What do you think?

I think its fantastic that the family are able to support themselves, I have nothing but praise for these people. They have not needed any help or nothing, they are all home schooled so everything they have learnt, they have learnt from their parents. Its amazing how these people can provide securely for 18 children and yet others struggle with 1, 2 or no kids!!!

I don't know how her body is taking it and also how do you have time let alone money for proper education for 18 kids? I wouldn't even consider having so many children

whaawat??? hahaha that is a lot of mouths to feed? they must be taking notes to remember all birthdays huh? haha
well, in this day and age, i don't think it is practical to have that many kids. before, families had 10-15 children and it was okay, all of them can still go to college. but now, food, gas, education, everything is already so expensive but the income did not really increase.
anyway, life is beautiful, if we know how to handle it.
